That's a very IGNORANT way of looking at history and Africa.

Congo is underdeveloped because it was INVADED BY THIEVING COLONISERS who used FIREARMS to destroy what was a GLORIOUS precolonial African civilisation.

Do you know that MATHEMATICS was invented in Congo?

Look up the Lebombo Bone and Ishango Bone. World's oldest mathematical objects dated over 25,000 years, and showing evidence of the knowledge of Prime Numbers.

Mbanza Kongo was the precolonial capital. According to a report

''Founded before the arrival of Europeans, Mbanza Kongo became the royal seat of the Kingdom of Kongo in the 14th century. By the time the Portuguese arrived in 1483, it was already a large, organized urban center โ€” with structured neighborhoods, noble compounds, and a royal court system.

The king, known as the Manikongo, ruled from here over a vast territory that included parts of present-day Angola, the Republic of Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Gabon.

Early Portuguese accounts describe it as:

A planned city with wide streets

A central royal compound

Thousands of inhabitants

A structured aristocracy and administrative system


This challenges the outdated myth that Africa lacked organized urban civilization before European contact.''

....So this nonsense of saying ''Oh because it's whites there'' is absolute RUBBISH.

Africa INVENTED the very concept of cities. INVENTED ARCHITECTURE.

Your next day neighbour minus Chad, Sudan, has over 250 PYRAMIDS, more than Kemet (or 'Egypt'), and older than any structures in Europe and America.

IF WHITES HAD SAT IN THEIR OWN DAMN COUNTRY, AFRICA WOULD BE THE MOST DEVELOPED PLACE ON EARTH TODAY.
If we did invent anything, we've certainly done a poor job of maintaining it. IMO countries like Nigeria should enter a mentor/mentee relationship (basically apprenticeship) with one developed nation, and be given 'freedom' after 20-50 years when institutions, etc have been appreciably established. Sure there'll be some abuse, but in the end I believe we will be the better for it.

This doesn't hold true. Egypt that is one of the earliest sight of major civilization in the world do not rank in top 10 or maybe top 20 most civilised nations today. Ethiopia was never colonized yet they struggle with tech and civilization.

China, US, Japan, and many other European and Asian countries have had their fair share of colonization and or bout of wars that many African nations would never recover from if we were the recipient of those disasters.

Something is inherently wrong with African minds and one of them is playing victim instead of picking ourselves up and face our reality.

I pray we find healing, the right leaders and mindset to move forward
